The White House is demanding that Fox News retract reports
regarding the corruption and bribery allegations that have been made
against Democrat President
Joe Biden and his family.
According to
CNN, Biden's White House made the
demand in a letter that it sent to Fox News's leadership this week.
White House spokesperson Ian Sams wrote the letter.
The reports focus on allegations that the president and his son,
Hunter Biden, took millions of
dollars in bribes from foreign nations to peddle their influence in
Washington D.C.
It has been alleged that while he was vice president, Biden
pressured Ukraine to fire its top prosecutor, who was investigating
Burisma Holdings at the time.
Burisma was a notoriously corrupt Ukrainian energy company.
This all took place while Hunter Biden just happened to be on the
company's board, despite having no experience in the energy sector.
An FBI informant claimed that there was more to this story.
The informant claimed that,
both Joe Biden and Hunter Biden were each
given $5 million in exchange for getting the prosecutor
fired...
House Oversight and Judiciary Committee
investigators followed up on the allegations by obtaining Biden
family members' bank records.
The bank records show
millions of dollars flowing into
Biden accounts from foreign nationals, including from Ukraine.
Now, however, this FBI informant's information,
has
become a target of Biden's
Department of Justice (DOJ)...
The informant,
Alexander Smirnov, has just
been indicted by the DOJ.
The DOJ claims that Smirnov was essentially working for the Russians
when he made this claim,
that he received the Biden bribery allegation
from Russian intelligence personnel.
It is now being claimed by Biden's DOJ that the
allegation was made up.
In response,
the White House now wants Fox to retract its
reporting about the alleged bribery scheme.
In the letter, the White House chastised Fox for
having,
"taken no steps to retract, correct, or
update its reporting on this false allegation from 2023," and it
called upon Fox to withdraw this reporting.
Sams wrote:
"We feel strongly that all Fox News Digital
articles on this topic should at a minimum be updated with
editor's notes informing readers that the source of this
allegation has been federally indicted for making it up.
"We also feel strongly that Fox News Channel television
personalities like Hannity and Watters, among
others, should inform their viewers on air that they have been
sharing a discredited allegation from a source who has been
federally indicted for making it up."
Fox has responded to this letter with its own
statement, suggesting that there is no need to retract anything.
A Fox spokesperson said:
"Fox News Media has reported on all key
developments since the announcement that Alexander Smirnov was
charged with lying to the FBI, featuring the story prominently."
"We will continue to report on developments in all aspects of
the ongoing investigations, hearings, and trials."
